I did it!

Ho Ho Holy crap it's December already!!
But what that does mean is i've managed to stay on track and complete a whole year's worth of 366 Calender Challenge pages.
I may not have always been on time but I did it.. and I'm rather proud of myself lol
Here is my Dec page
I've gone with tiny little journalling squares coz I have a feeling I wont have alot of time to be filling in my calender, maybe just a 1 word for the day kinda deal.
I created the background using my gelli plate and 2 layers of paint, a base red, and then a green patina and phthalo green /stencil top.
I'd like to thank Kate for hosting this challenge and allowing me to play along. As Kate suggests at the end of this month I will share all 12 months pages in 1 post.
Till then...Stay Inky

I'm very proud of you for sticking with this project till the end! Your tree is very clever and I'm looking forward to the end of the month to see all of the pages together. Sure hope we won't have to pick a favorite!
